On November 5, 2009, an Army psychiatrist, Nidal Malik Hasan, walked into a personnel center at Fort Hood, Texas, and opened fire on his fellow soldiers. Hasan was a muslim. He had a history of radical ties. He had business cards made titling himself “Soldier of Allah.” He communicated with terrorist leaders while on active duty. He killed and wounded soldiers who were processing for | Read More »

This sounds like the standard scenario: assailant goes to a firearms-restricted area with an unauthorized gun, shoots people until confronted by somebody who is also armed with a gun, and then the assailant shoots himself to avoid capture. The major differences this time are that the firearms-restricted area was Fort Hood (which had been hit by a thankfully-rare domestic jihadist five years ago), and that | Read More »

What is the state of U.S. intelligence since President Obama succeeded President Bush in 2009? Twelve years ago this morning Usama bin Laden’s al Qaeda carried out the deadliest attack against Americans on American soil since Americans turned on each other in the War Between the States. Thirty months ago, UBL was killed by U.S. Navy Seals in Pakistan. One year ago today, terrorists carried | Read More »

The President still emphasizes the “credible threat of military action”, but does anyone think Obama won’t seize upon the Russia-Syria WMD proposal as the preferable way out of his red-line corner than congressional vote gambits? Probably not, and given the character of the man Americans inexplicably re-hired to wield our nukes (and continue to wreck the economy), the Putin proposal that Assad turn over control | Read More »

In the wake of the Obama administration shutting down multiple American embassies, the reasons behind the closures remain obscured. Vague references and unconfirmed reports of impending threats float on the airwaves and on the Internet. People with a tenuous grasp on international affairs in the past few decades find such actions inexplicable and confusing. Those who view such events through the prism of political correctness | Read More »

His father (1905-1970) arrived in the U.S. from Barbados and worked as a real estate broker. Holder’s mother, Miriam, is American-born and the daughter of immigrants from Saint Philip, Barbados. Holder attended Columbia University, enrolling in 1969. He was active in the Student | Read More »

Obama will go down in history as the President of “Blame, Redistribution and Class Warfare” and it will be noted that this extreme radical blatantly blamed Americans and America for his ineptness and inability to perform his duties as Command in Chief. For 3 ½ years Obama has fueled the fire of racism, class warfare and terrorism, which is evidenced by his many apologies. Today | Read More »

The joy of several prominent media outlets in response to the mass murder in Oslo more than two weeks later remains unmistakable. The New York Times proclaimed Anders Behring Breivik as a “Christian extremist”. CNN referred to him as a “Christian fundamentalist”. The Washington Post insinuated that he is a “Christian terrorist”. Even Islamists such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations have gleefully spouted such | Read More »

Note: This is an updated version of my original post on Naser Abdo and the Fort Hood terrorist plot which was prevented last week. The updates have been made in-text due to an increase in the amount of information available on the case. A second terrorist attack on soldiers stationed at Fort Hood, Texas in under two years was discovered last week, and its plotter, | Read More »

The headline of the day is that a second terrorist attack on Fort Hood, Texas in under two years was discovered this week, and its plotter, Private First Class Nasser Jason Abdo, arrested before the attack could be carried out. The latter fact, of course, differentiates this plot from the successful attack carried out by Major Nidal Hasan in November 2009, when the Army officer | Read More »

Mirandized POWs don’t identify UBL couriers. Only captured illegal enemy combatants fearful of enhanced interrogation techniques do. I am reminded in the aftermath of the U.S. as undertaker-sponsored burial of Usama bin Laden at sea, that my first column as a paid journalist, written soon after September 11, 2001, was the first in the nation suggest that captured terrorists would not be entitled to POW status | Read More »

What a more wonderful world it would be if the worst threat from Muslims and Muslim clerics was that they would conduct mass Bible burnings. Try as I might, this Southern Baptist just can’t seem to get worked up over the burning of Korans by a non-Southern Baptist in Florida even when the drive-by media continually reminds me that the burnings “provoked” retaliatory killings in Afghanistan. | Read More »

3000+ non-depicters of Mohammed killed from 911 to Fort Hood If every television producer in Hollywood depicted “The Prophet” of Islam on their programs this week, would all of them be targeted for assassination next week? Yes, which means the circumstance for such Los Angeles denizens visavis Islamists will not have changed since last week and at least since the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. All | Read More »
